Card Class - Butterfly

 Here is another card from the three card class that I did last week. I love this new butterfly punch!

Here is how I made the butterfly layered. I punched out a full Very Vanilla butterfly and another in Basic Black. I cut out the center of the black one and glued it to the back of the white one, just spaced out a little to show on the outer edges. I really like this effect!

Here is how I made the bow out of a little strip of embossed paper.

 I love this punch!
